UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICE.

H. B. MORRISON, OF LEROY, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO O. H. MORRISON, OF SAME PLACE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 39,700, dated August 25, 1863.

To LZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, H. B. MORRISON, of Leroy, in the county of Genesee and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Attaching Revolving Tips to Hose-Nozzles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ot' the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in whichH Figures 1 and 2 are longitudinal central sec tions of a nozzle and tip connected together according to my invention 5 Fig. 3, a detached view otl a ring pertaining to the same.

Similar letters ot' reference indicate corre-1 ponding parts in the several iigures.

The object of this invention is to attach the tip to the nozzle in such a manner that the tip will be allowed to rotate freely on the nozzle, and at the same time a perfect watertight joint obtained. The invention is more especially designed tO be applied to my revOlvin-g tip for nozzles for which Letters Patent were granted to me, bearing date October 14,1862.

To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my invention, I will 'proceed to describe it.

A represents a nozzle, the outer end of which is cut or formed obliquely, as indicated This end ot' the nozzle is turned down, so as to form a shoulder, b, all around its edge, and a squaie recess, c, is cut laterally into the side Ot' the nozzle near its end, as shown clearly in Iigs. I and 2.

B represents a metal ring, which is made of such dimension that it may be iitted in the recess c, the ring extending into the recess about hap-lf of its thickness, as shown in Figs. l and:2. This ring has a screw-thread cut'on its outer surface, and it is out or divided at any point d, so that it may be expanded in order to be adjusted into the recess c.

C represents a revolving tip, the inner edge of which is out or formed obliquely, corre- B, and in fact the the nozzle A. The inner end of the tip C has are-cess turned in its lower edge to receive the end of the nozzle A, and a female sorewis cut in the inner end Ot' the nozzle tO receive the male screw on the ring B.

When the tip O is screwed on the ring B, the tip is allowed to rotate freely, as the ring is allowed to turn freely in the recess c.

An annular packing, d', is inserted between the shoulder b ot' the nozzle A and the inner end of the tip O, as shown in Figs. I and 2.

In Order to prevent the ring B from turning when the tip O is screwed upon it, a hole, e, is drilled through the nozzle from its inner side and into the ring, and a wire inserted therein, as shown in red in Fig. 1, and it necessary or desired a set-screw may be fitted in the lower part ot' the tip and screwed against the ring B, in Orderv to prevent the tip from turning on the ring. By this arrangement it will be seen that the tip O will be firmly secured tO the nozzle A, and a perfectly Water-tight connection Obtained.

I would remark that the ring .B may be cut partly through at a point opposite the cutl d, in Order to facilitate the springing Oi' the ring ring may be made in two parts and fitted in the recess c.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is'- The securing Ot' the tip O tO the nozzle A by means ofa ring B, cut or divided at any point, Or formed ot' two Or more parts, and litted in a recess, c, in the end of a nozzle, A, and having a screw-thread cut on its outer side, upon which the inner or lower end ofthe tip O is screwed, substantially as herein set forth.
